Rain, last wheels, moving, and dodgeball
Dear Mother
First my wrist is doing just fine. I have close to 70% motion back. I'm still working bringing my wrist backwards. In the evenings it is still pretty painful. Normally I don't have any pain, but in the evenings and mornings I can feel the bone, so i wonder if it is still healing. The good news is it doesn't hurt when I use it.
As to the rain. Lucky! We had two days of rain and got stuck on bikes for a day. By the end of the evening I didn't need to dry clean my pants, because they were soaked through. I whistled Christmas Carols all the way home as I rode a Schwinn beach cruiser. Two days ago the Trek (T-Wreck as we call it) finally died. As I was trying to get up a grass hill the derail-er decided to snap into the spokes and bring the bike to complete halt. It was a bitter moment for me and I proceeded to take a picture before dismantling the frame. If I can't find a new derailer at the mission office, I will be donating the bike and getting a loaner. Back to the rain story. I loved every moment of being in the rain. I was soaked through and my hands were delightfully cold.
Family I have news, I'm being transferred this Wednesday! I'll be serving in an area of 5 wards! it will be quite the experience. I"m looking forward to it, but I will miss Elder Conaway a lot. As I informed the Bishop in one of my wards, he was very sad to see me go. In fact on leaving the meeting Sunday morning all the Brethren almost in unison said "Thanks Elders" it was a sweet moment to know that we had done something for them and their families. A young man in the ward was very sad to see me go. It will be hard, but I hope to stay in touch and be able to see him on to his mission.
As a last party we will be playing dodge-ball with the youth, something Elder Conaway is really looking forward to.
Because of transfers I have no idea were I will be spending Christmas, and I really hope my new companion is skypeing. I also won't know my phone number until next Monday. The time should work for calling home.
I love you all bundles.
Oh we had a Zone breakfast this morning which was really fun. It was outside around a campfire and we had lots of yumiie little treats (I know I spelled it wrong, but that looks cool). It was also sad to see a few Sister missionaries go home that I watched come out on their missions. We enjoyed a short time of friendship together and now we are all embarked on a new adventure which starts this Wednesday.
Love,
Elder Will Davidson
